The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah, issued an evacuation order on Saturday evening, directed at Israeli settlers in 25 settlements in northern occupied Palestine, following in the footsteps of the Israeli occupation forces who had been forcing people to flee their homes in numerous areas across Lebanon.
The Israeli occupation forces, through their Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee, had been issuing evacuation orders for areas within Beirut’s Southern Suburb, Southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, and even more recently a huge portion of the city of Tyre, before bombing civilian homes under the pretext that they contain military equipment used by the Islamic Resistance.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, stated that these settlements had become military outposts where Israeli occupation forces are stationed to launch attacks on Lebanon. Consequently, Hezbollah declared them legitimate military targets for its aerial and missile forces, calling on settlers to “evacuate immediately.”
“You are requested to evacuate immediately. Your settlements have become a place of deployment and settlement for the enemy military forces attacking Lebanon. As a result, they have become legitimate military targets for the air and missile forces of the Islamic Resistance,” the warning read.

The settlements included in the evacuation order are: Kiryat Shmona, Yesud HaMa’ala, Ayelet HaShahar, Hatzor HaGlilit, Karmeil, Maalot Tarshiha, Even Menachem, Nahariya, Rosh Pina, Shamir, Shaal, Meron, Kapri, Abirim, Dalton, Neve Ziv, Katzrin, Kfar Hanania, Manot, Beit HaEmek, Kfar Vradim, Harashim, Birya, Kidmat Tsvi, and Bar Yohai.
This notice follows a previous warning issued by Hezbollah’s Operations Room on October 11, where it revealed that the Israeli military had established military points for its officers and soldiers within residential areas in northern settlements, transforming homes into military installations.
The statement noted that major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tabaraya, and Akka also host military bases operating from within settlement neighborhoods, contributing to the onslaught against Lebanon.
In that statement, Hezbollah warned settlers to avoid staying near these military facilities “for their own safety, until further notice,” emphasizing that these homes and bases are deemed legitimate targets for Hezbollah’s missile and air forces.
Hezbollah reiterated its commitment to the late martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s promise to keep the northern settlements empty of Israelis until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ceases.
Following its warning on October 13, Hezbollah launched an assault using attack drones targeting an Israeli military base associated with the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of Haifa. Hezbollah’s Operations Room reported that the base, largely unknown to settlers, was among the designated military targets in the ongoing conflict.
